On 22 September 2013, the pilot was conducting a pre-flight inspection in preparation for a local private flight from Kilcoy.
The pilot taxied the aircraft to the threshold of runway 27 and conducted engine run-ups. The pilot reported that the engine operated as normal. In preparation for takeoff, he selected the right fuel tank and turned the fuel pump on.
During takeoff, the pilot reported that the engine performed as expected, but at about 50-80 feet above ground level, the engine suddenly stopped. The pilot immediately confirmed that the fuel tank selection and fuel pump were on. He also noted that the engine revolutions per minute were reading zero.
The pilot elected to land ahead on the remaining runway. The aircraft touched down with about 50 metres of runway remaining, but the pilot was unable to brake sufficiently to stop the aircraft prior to the end of the runway.
The aircraft collided with a fence, and continued through a paddock and a ditch before coming to rest after colliding with a second fence.
